This is the perfect "first-timer" kit for setting up your CB or 10-Metre ham radio. The Astatic PDC1 is a compact, accurate meter that measures SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) and RF power, the two most critical things you need to check for a healthy antenna system.
Its "Full Kit" design means you get everything you need in one box. There's no frustration, no missing parts, and no need to place a second order. This kit includes the meter, a 30W dummy load (for testing your radio's power), and the short PL259 jumper cable (for connecting the meter to your radio). It's the ideal, all-in-one solution for any new operator.
💡 Why You Need the "Full Kit"
New operators often discover that an SWR meter can't be used by itself. This kit solves that problem and gives you two essential diagnostic tools:
- 3-Foot Jumper Cable: You need a short cable to connect your radio's output (SO-239) to the meter's input. This kit includes the perfect 3-foot PL259-to-PL259 cable.
- 30W Dummy Load: This is a "fake" antenna. It lets you test your radio's true power output (wattage) *without* transmitting a signal over the air. It's a critical tool for diagnosing a "weak" radio.

Questions & Answers

Will it safely measure power and standing wave ratio (SWR) for an amateur band 100 watt HF transceiver? The transceiver is for the 160 meter through the 10 meter bands.
This unit is more suited to a CB/10M radio. While it might do the job I would recommend the PDC2 for a full amateur rig: https://www.fleetwooddp.com/products/workman-electronics-hf-vhf-swr-watt-field-strength-meter
